Was on my to Fordbabys and EFFalcon for a relaxin evening when a truck decided it wanted to run a red light and turn right through an intection and put some racing stripes down the side of the AU. Not sure whats going to happen to the AU as it looks like the C pillar has been bent. Thanks to John and Kristy for helping patch up the back window for the trip home

that sucks man! how much is your car insured for? i would say it would be a write off, start pulling off any good bits you havent told insurance about

did you get the truck drivers details?

Its only insured for MArket plus 3k of extras. yeah have to pull the 6 speed out, brakes off and replace the rims and some audio gear. Yeah got all his details thought he done a runner but he pulled up around the corner got witnesses too, claim has already been lodged with insurance.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 9:30 am**

Last time i checked market was around $14,000 to $15,000 just under a year ago, think i might just go and get a BA XR6T if its written off. Lucky the wagon is still kicking along just

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 10:19 am**

Damn............thats a real shame Mark just when the ol girl was starting to get where you wanted her

Id be most surprised if they didnt write it off, that 1/4 panel/c pillar damage looks pretty nasty

hope it all works out for you

pHaT'eL: Glad your ok mate!! Sucks, just got all that stuff done too

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 10:40 am**

Lucky you're alright mate. I'd be guessing write off on that for sure.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 10:54 am**

Glad to hear you are ok, Car can always be replaced, even thou its an inconvience.

But might i add since our accident (with a truck also), every accident we have heard off since has had a truck or a train involved in it, i think that they need to take truckies back to training school and teach them although they may be bigger than us we have just as much right on the road as they do.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 11:02 am**

awwww man thats nasty... just think of it as custom panel work :mrgreen:

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 11:04 am**

That sucks mate.

Redbook says things dont look good.

Hopefully the insurance co is fair about it.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 11:16 am**

Sorry to hear Mark - hope you don't lose out with it all...at least it was drivable - imagine if it was worse and you couldn't get all the good bits off it ! :evil:

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 12:37 pm**

That'll buff out.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 12:41 pm**

shit mate thats no good at all......could have been far worse though...

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 12:52 pm**

Ultimate gayness!!! Red light runners are up there near the top of my 'pet hate' list, thats for sure!

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 12:59 pm**

That's fucked, I hate truck drivers.

Shame especially with the 6spd and all.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 1:27 pm**

oh well, onwards and upwards, its a known fact that au's are shit

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 1:33 pm**

Thats just shit, must have made a massive bang!

Hope the claim works out well for ya.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 3:09 pm**

damn man not good to hear, it was looking pretty neat.
least its only panel damage, if it hit further towards the front of the car near the drivers door it could have been a bit worse!!

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 3:30 pm**

agreed they are bigger, therefore they need alot more room to stop, even more if there fully loaded.

shame about the car bomber hope it all turn out ok.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 4:56 pm**

yeah mine is market value of $11,500 but just cars will give me $15,000 with aggreed value without making it more expensive.
still no good tho man u must be shuttered i no i would be.
yeah i nearly got hit by a truck the other week and went nuts at him.
they indicate and just start moving f#%kin dickheads.
ahh well hopefully all goes well.
cheers josh.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 6:31 pm**

that sucks dude.. after all the efforts you have put into your car, and some sht knt runs a red light, and then tries to do a runner... that guy sucks at life in every possible way imagineable.

Posted: **March 30th, 2008, 8:49 pm**

that sucks ass man! shame to see your car like this, and i didn't even get to see the 6sp in action :[
